Sequoia - Day 2

Breakfast at Wuksachi Lodge.

Walked around the Wuksachi Lodge area and saw a Green-tailed Towhee and many White-crowned Sparrows. Red Fir have lots of cones at the tops of the trees. Pines have cones but they aren't necessarily all clustered at the top of the tree.

Round Meadow

Summer is over and wildflowers are gone except for a rare holdout here and there.  We've spotted one scraggly Indian Paintbrush and one scraggly Meadow Lupine so far. Except for some bracken ferns still holding out in shady areas, the lush understory plants are gone.

I walked around Round Meadow again. The sun is warm so it feels like shirtsleeves but when the sun drops it's cool.
